COOKING 4AND HEATING STOVE.

Specification forming partof Letters Patent No.' 47,713. dated May 16, 1865. l

y a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists, first, in building the stove, as seen in the drawings, of the following dimensions, the scale of which is laid down to one-eighth of an inch to the inch or one and one-half inches to the foot.

The bottom AV B. is forty-one inches in length and twenty-six inches in width, in rectangular shape, of east-iron one-half inch in thickness, having grooves cast thereon one inch from each edge, to admit of the front, back, and side plates to t into, and an opening across the center of two inches in width by sixteen inches in length, with grooves cast around the edges of said opening to admit the plates G G on the sides and a short sloping j plate, X, on the back. On the bottom of this plate A B the heretofore old manner of dovetailed projections to admit thefeet El H. The middle plate, G D, cast the same size and thickness of the bottom plate, and shaped as represented in Figure4 on the drawings,(which figure is drawn on a scale of threelfourths inch to the foot,) having the four openings for cooking-utensils, as shown on drawings, three in front and one in the center, back, each circular opening eight inches in diameter,' with the detached center between the holes 2 and 4, this plate having also grooves cast thereon to receive the plates L L of the out side and K K of the inside iiues, 5 5, and grooves at the back to receive the back plate and also the plates M M of the flues 6 6. This plate O D and the bottom plate, A B, are connected by the rods B B, containing between, as is following described, namely, the two ovens, O O one on each sidejof the furnace F- consisting of cast-iron plates one-eighth inch in thickness, and supported in grooves in shape on the front and back as represented on the front plan, also the furnace F, supported by the plates G G, which extend from the top ofthe ovens at N and standing in the grooves before mentioned in the middle of the bottom AB, the furnace-,plates S S being capped on the top part to cover the joint of the `oven.- plates N N and the plates G G, and at their bottom resting in a projection madel to receive them in the plates G G at the points y y andy also in grooves made to receive them inA back and front plates. These furnaceplates are cast heavy, in a iiuted manner, having a projection at the points TT for the grate a to rest upon, which grate extends from back to front plates of stove, with projections on' each plate to support it. This grate, forming the bottom of the furnace, consists of va number of bars in a deflected shape, cast one inch apart, each bar being heaviest at :the lower point of deiiection and Atapering `toward the sides, on which they are connected and resting.

The draft to the furnace is an opening in'.

the front plate, as represented bythe figure b, and openedor closed at will by the door ec, the ashes falling through between the plates G G and resting on the bottom or plate A B, from whence it can be removed by pulling out the slide d. In the right-hand plate, G, there is an openingat the point g, made to open and close by a slide worked on the inside of the right-hand oven, which `oven is used for roasting purposes, by having a pan with gridiron, grate, and bottom attached. The distance between the grateand bottom is made to suit the opening in the oven-door at Vl?, which causes draft under the coals, having outlet for the same into the furnace through the plate G, as before described; also between these plates A B and O D are the extra due-plates K K, extending from front to back in grooves made to receive them on those plates, and also on the under side of the plate (l D, the bottom-plate of these lines extend` ing to (from within one and one-half inches of the side of the stove) within two inches of the plates G G, with dampers at each end, as seen at h h, for the purpose of shutting off the outer draft, when required, thereby throwing all the draft to the opening between the inner and the outer back, as seen at ff, which opening is closed at will by the slide n n.

It will also be seen that the draft of both flues between K and L may be stopped by the dampers p p, made to fall `over on small projections cast on the bottom of the plate C D, having a corresponding opening only through the inner back, as seen at g gl, with slide in` like manner to open and close, as may be required. y

The part of the stove C D E Fis constructed on the plate C D over the ues 5 5 and 6 6, as seen in Fig. 4, the height ofthe sides G E andD F being twentytwo inches each, and the inner sides, tt, twenty-one inches each, covered by the top plate, u u, as seen in Fig. 5 on the drawings, and fastened down by the rods 'vo to the plates C D, still leaving the ilues 5 5 and 6 6 open into the space between the plates u u and the top plate, r r, which space is divided by the partition-plates W W and the damper Z, which is worked on the inside of top, as seen at the'Fig. 8 in the front view, which plates and damper are for the purpose of disconnecting the lues 6 6 from the tlues 5 5 when the draft is so required. In this plate u uis also an. opening, as seen at A', opened and closed by a slide, the end of which is seen at B', the top plate, E F, having no opening, only the pipe-hole C'. The door D' D' has three openings, as seen on front plan, which openings are set with mica or tire-proof glass lights, the door being balanced as a window-sash by the pulleys E' E' and the weights F F, inclosed in the boxing, as seen on the side view, and moved up or down by the handle G', the door sliding between the front casting, I I, and the plate H', as seen on the side View. The outside plates, L L and It' R', are sheetiron, and also the outside back, K', which is two inches from the inner back, L', is also sheet-iron, riveted on flan ges cast on the front and back plates of the bottom part of the stove, and all the construction on top of the plate G D, with the exception of the front I I, is sheet-iron. The top plate, 1" r, is held down by the double set of nuts Q Q, on the rods o o, which confine the whole top part to the plate C D.

, What I claim in the construction of this stove is- I. The iiues leading from tire-pot F around ovens O O and between the plates forming the sides and top of the hood to exit-pipe, in connection with dampers hh and p p, in the manner and for the purposes set forth.

2. The manner in which the tire-pot is placed with grate and pit, as. described.

3. The combination and arrangement, with fire-pot F, of apertures 2 and 4 and dampers p p, substantially in the manner and for the purposes described.

4. The hood of the stove, constructed and arranged with the ues wholly extending around side and top in connection with the dampers h h, substantiaily in the manner and for the purposes described.

5. The apertures A' in the top of a stove, with side and top lues and an illuminated sliding shield, D' D', in combination with the tire-pot F, in the manner and for the purposes set forth and described.
